I am sorry for your loss. I have pleasant memories of my life on Lydia street, and your family played a big part of these memories. Sonja was the friendly mom of a dear friend, Jana. You will be in our prayers as you adjust to the changes. May God's love and peace be obvious in the days ahead.

Dear Shelton Family:

We will miss the special Christian lady who could magically turn satin and lace into breathtaking gowns and dresses.

We're saddened to learn of Sonja's death. Kelli called after seeing the notice. Sonja was a wonderful woman. Please know I'll always thank her for leading me to Jesus and helping me sew. Harry and I were pleased to join in your 50th.

To Sonja's family~I am so sorry for your loss. I was one of Sonja's nurses in the 1990's, and I so enjoyed visiting with her. She would always speak of her family~I could tell she was proud of all of you. When I was preparing for my wedding in 1997, she made my bridal veil for me, and helped me with my dress. I have many fond and special memories of Sonja. Please know that I am thinking of all of you, and will continue to keep you in my prayers.
